Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 14 Establishing Prestige
There was already a circle around Wang Zhao's hut.

"Brother Zhao, I really didn't steal anything."

The guard Zhao Mazi crossed his arms, sneered and said, "You don't know whether you stole anything or not?!"

"Tell me, how come the second lady's earrings are in your room?"

"Say!"

Zhao Mazi emphasized his tone.

There were several guards standing behind him with unfriendly faces. In his hand was a delicate pearl pendant, which was obviously a piece of jewelry that only ladies from wealthy families could afford.

In the Zhu family, if you dare to take the master's things privately, it is a taboo and you will be beaten to death.

These guards are all big and strong, with fleshy faces, which makes people feel intimidated.

Even if some servants realized that something was wrong, they dared not say anything, for fear of bringing disaster upon themselves.

This is human nature.

Everyone knows that Zhao Mazi is the second master Zhu Lie's man. Servants follow their masters and are unreasonable. If you annoy Zhao Mazi, there will be no end to this kind of dirty frame-up.

It has happened several times before.

But Zhao Mazi was protected by the second master Zhu Lie, and he only bullied servants.

The master of the Zhu family didn't want to fall out with his brothers over this matter, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

That's a life!

But the lives of the untouchables are not lives at all.

"Come on, follow me to see the master and ask him to judge the matter."

When Wang Zhao heard that he was going to see the master, his face turned pale.

The body of the new servant who was beaten to death by the master last month is still in the mass grave. If he really meets the master, his end will definitely not be any better.

"Brother Zhao, it's unfair. I've really been wronged."

Wang Zhao was so anxious that he kept kowtowing.

Today, these people rushed into his room early in the morning without saying a word, claiming that he had stolen something, and then rummaged around. Zhao Mazi then took out a pendant and insisted that he had stolen it.

Zhao Mazi smiled with a fake smile: "Are you saying that I wronged you?"

Wang Zhao was speechless for a moment and looked at the people around him helplessly.

This is like yellow mud falling into the crotch, there is no way to explain it.

Zhao Mazi was already familiar with this trick.

As he said this, Zhao Mazi was about to hit someone again.

Of course he knew whether Wang Zhao was wrongly accused or not. The pendant was always on his person and was secretly put there during the search.

"If you want to blame someone, blame your master for offending someone he shouldn't have offended!"

Li Rui is highly regarded by Zhu's father and son, so it is difficult to take action against him. However, it is much easier to deal with his apprentice, and there is no need to worry at all.

Even if the master of the Zhu family knew, he would not stand up for a servant.

In the eyes of the Zhu family's master, Wang Zhao was a commodity, the kind with a clearly marked price.

"stop!"

At this time, Yang Yong and Li Rui squeezed out of the crowd.

Yang Yong shouted loudly.

When Zhao Mazi saw that the real boss had arrived, he exclaimed.

"Old Li, your apprentice has lost his conscience and stole things from the master's house. What do you think we should do about this?"

Li Rui ignored Zhao Mazi.

He walked up to Wang Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, and helped him up, and brushed the snow off his clothes.

When Zhao Mazi saw that he was being ignored, he became furious.

It would be fine if the martial arts master looked down on him, but how dare a 70-year-old man look down on him?!
"Old Li, I think you are an old man who wants to hang himself because you think your life is too long."

Zhao Mazi took a step forward and raised his foot to kick.

However, he did not dare to really use force, otherwise if he really beat Li Rui to death, he would have a hard time explaining himself.

But just as his feet were about to touch Li Rui's clothes——

Li Rui swiftly kicked Zhao Mazi in the belly. Bang!
Zhao Mazi instantly put on a mask of pain, and rolled several times in the snow like a ball before stopping.

Zhao Mazi lay in the snow wailing for two people, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"Who else do you have?"

Li Rui retracted his feet and turned to glance at the guards in front of him.

"You want to take my apprentice away?"

"This"

Several of Zhao Mazi's followers looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

The reason why Zhao Mazi became the leader was not just because he could lick, but also because he could fight like a mad dog and was not afraid of pain at all. Otherwise, Zhu Lie would not have valued him.

Now even Zhao Mazi is not as strong as Li Rui, so how dare they take action again?

"Why is Old Li so fierce?"

"I've heard that Old Li has become famous for his martial arts training a while ago. Look at his black hair. He looks like a young man again. If he hadn't started martial arts too late, he would have become a grandmaster."

"Grandmaster?"

"Just blow as much as you can."

"But Old Li does have some skills."

The servants of the Zhu family who were watching the fun were all shocked by Li Rui's thundering methods.

In their impression, Li Rui has always been an easy-going, cautious and cheerful old man who greets everyone he meets. Many of them grew up under the care of old Li.

But the old man Li in front of him was obviously fierce, like a hidden tiger.

The guards looked at each other and dared not provoke Li Rui.

He hurriedly helped Zhao Mazi, who was lying on the ground, up and demonstrated what it meant to flee in a panic.

"Okay, let's all disperse."

Seeing that Zhu Lie's people had left, Li Rui said to everyone.

"Old Li, how come you have become so powerful?"

A young servant with a pointed face and monkey cheeks asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

Li Rui smiled slightly: "I have recently practiced a martial art called Ba Duan Jin. I didn't expect it to be very compatible with me. I have already mastered it to some extent."

Hear the words.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Old Li really practiced martial arts! !
No wonder his body is much stronger than before. Many people have noticed the changes in Li Rui.

"What a pity! If it had been forty years earlier, I might have become a martial artist and escaped from the status of a slave."

An experienced old man pointed out the key.

Even though Li Rui is very powerful now, he has no potential anymore and it is impossible for him to become a martial artist. At most, he can fight a little, but as he gets older, this advantage will completely disappear.

When practicing martial arts, timing is very important.

Like the eldest son of the Zhu family, he started practicing martial arts at the age of five, and he consumed countless precious herbs. Ordinary people can't compare to him at all.

Everyone dispersed.

Wang Zhao looked at Li Rui innocently and gratefully: "Master, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Li Rui did not blame Wang Zhao.

Zhao Mazi has Zhu Lie's support behind him, and he is also determined to frame him. There is no way to avoid this kind of thing, so he can only accept it.

He suddenly exploded today, on the one hand to protect Wang Zhao, and on the other hand he also wanted to show his strength appropriately.

The changes in him after practicing martial arts were too obvious. The voices of the Zhu family talking about him behind his back were heard by Yang Yong, and he could no longer hide it.

Hiding one's shortcomings is not being stupid.

Appropriately showing one's edge can not only dispel those people's wild thoughts, but also deter the villains in the dark and avoid a lot of trouble.

And he is now a master of the highest level.

If the Zhu family went too far, the worst that could happen would be that he would take Wang Zhao and break out of the Zhu family overnight, then hide in the mountains and become a hunter or a swordsman.
